DJ LAG – THE KING IS IN THE BUILDING

If you’ve been caught up in the feverish energy of the gqom explosion over the last two years, DJ Lag is probably the man you have to thank. Taking the uniquely Durban sound to the international stage via an appearance on Boiler Room, Lag also caught the attention of London-based label Goon Club All Star who released his EP in 2017 to wide acclaim. Recently his self-released EP ‘Trip To New York’ achieved notoriety in the press over claims that it had been copied by another artist, but this only served to cement Lag’s reputation as the undisputed king of gqom.

Why have we booked him?

There are certain artists who exude passion and an infectious star quality when they play and Lag is the epitome of this. One of the young founding fathers of the gqom movement and one of the very few taking the genre to the world, we are massive fans of Lag and can’t wait to watch him shutdown that Outdoor stage.
